Valuing your business
The first step is having an accurate business valuation. We provide accurate valuations, based on the current market, and work with you to strategise and optimise your business's value.
Selling your business

FAQs about business brokerage services in Adelaide
Why should I use a business broker?
Selling or buying a business is more than just paperwork; it requires expertise, strategy, and the right connections. By working with Benchmark Business Brokers in Adelaide, you can access years of industry experience, an in-depth understanding of the market, and a strong network of motivated buyers and sellers. Our brokers also understand the legal side of transactions and can quickly identify potential risks, helping you avoid costly mistakes and make confident decisions.
How much does it cost to hire an Adelaide business broker?
The cost of engaging a broker in Adelaide depends on the type of business and the complexity of the sale. No two businesses are the same, which means the level of time and resources required can vary. Our fees are structured to reflect the service and expertise needed to deliver the best possible outcome for your sale.
How can I sell a business in Adelaide?
You can use a business broker, like Benchmark Business, to sell your business in Adelaide. Our team of experienced and specialist brokers can help you market your business and find the perfect buyer without you needing to do anything.
Can you provide business valuations?
We offer business valuations that allow you to see how much your business is worth. These valuations are based on sales-based data, and we can offer guidance on how you could increase the value of your business, too. For more information, contact a business valuer in Adelaide to see what your business is worth.
How long does it take to sell a business in Adelaide?
It can take as little as six months to sell your business in Adelaide, but sometimes, it can take up to a year to sell. The time it takes depends on the type of business, the market, and if there are lots of negotiations between you and potential buyers. Don’t worry; we keep you updated on the progress and time frame.
How do you find buyers for my business?
We use our database of potential buyers, market research, and networking events to help find potential buyers for your business. Our marketing campaigns have a proven track record that ensures we can find potential buyers from across Adelaide rather than relying on one database as other brokers do.
How do you maintain confidentiality during a business sale?
Your confidentiality is our priority; we store all your data securely while we need it. We also recommend using NDAs to ensure confidential information remains private before the business sells. It’s also worth updating your systems throughout your business to keep your information as secure as possible.
Can I change my mind about selling my business?
Yes, you can change your mind if you have not signed a contract with the seller. Whether you need more time to decide or a change in circumstances means you are unable to sell the business, we will handle the situation for you and be available for assistance should you find a better time to sell.
What business details should I share with potential buyers?
We think you should only share details about the business that potential buyers need to know. Legal documents should be available for potential buyers, including permits and licences, contracts, articles of incorporation, and intellectual property registrations. If there is sensitive information that you think potential buyers need to see but are worried about them using or sharing it, you can ask potential buyers to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect you and your business.
Will I have to negotiate directly with buyers?
Not at all. We handle all negotiations for you, ensuring your goals are represented and your best interests are protected. This allows you to step back from the pressure of direct conversations with buyers while knowing an experienced professional is working to secure you the right deal.
What documents do I need to get ready before selling my business?
When you’re ready to sell, it helps to have the right documents in order. We’ll guide you through the process and provide a checklist. Common documents include:
- Financial statements from the last three to five years
- Business tax returns
- Details of assets and liabilities
- Intellectual property or trademark registrations
- Supplier and customer contracts
- Any additional information that demonstrates the value of your business
Can I sell my business while running it?
Definitely, this is generally the best approach. Keeping your business running smoothly while we handle the administrative side of the sale will make it more appealing to potential buyers. We’ll do the marketing, negotiations, and ensure the transaction goes smoothly, you focuse on ironing out any issues and running your business as per normal.
